The primary purpose of this department is mitigation to fire/medical emergencies, and to save lives. Department Structure The Kauai Fire Department has seven stations around the island, with seven engines, seven rescue Humvees, a Hazmat truck, rescue helicopter, along with other support vehicles. The department maintains co-response agreements with the military installation at Barking Sands, and State Crash crews at Lihue Airport. American Medical Response (AMR) provides ambulance and paramedic services for the county. They have five ambulances, including one inter-facility unit to transport patients between various hospital facilities around the island. Radio Communications Prior to switching over to the countywide trunked radio system, fire communications were on VHF radio frequencies. Fire, fireground, and EMS dispatch operations moved to the countywide trunked radio system in 1997, while ambulance-to-hospital MEDICOM communications remain on a UHF radio frequency.
